4 /5 L Wong: An extension of Sebastopol Sunshine Cafe of Sebastopol, they opened on Feb 18, 2025 a Petaluma location in the Leghorn Marketplace, behind Starbucks.
Well staffed and friendly.
Portions are generous, pricing is typical of cafes. Mainly breakfast offerings with lunch and dinner items as well. Good was served in a timely manner.
We enjoyed the corned beef hash platter which offered tasty corned beef in longish strips instead of ground or short chopped cooked as an egg scramble, topped with avocado with hash browns and your choice of bread toast.
The Petaluma Sunshine Special was a generous serving of two eggs cooked to preference served with 2 slices of crispy bacon, 2 little cute fat sausages, side of hash browns and your choice of bread toast, including French toast - I went for the French toast, no extra cost.
Save your money on the barista beverages. Although they have a nice espresso machine, it was plenty obvious that the staff lacked the adequate training to produce a decent cup of espresso drinks. I originally ordered a cappuccino, it came over heated with absolutely no foam ( foam is the signature of a cappuccino). Then I tried the marzipan latte. The initial presentation was elegant, with a rim of crushed almond and a hint of foam on top, this time at a good temperature. Although the flavors were there, the texture and overall achievement was lacking, again to the inability to produce adequate foam. Skip any espresso drinks and visit Starbucks next door.
I would visit again for a good breakfast meal. Next time Ill try visiting for lunch or dinner.
